Sorrry, I don't, either, and I don't have Builder.

In fact, it *is* there. Look at the uses clause in the implementation section.

Oh, I see. I didn't realise that was your problem. In Delphi, all I have
to do to see an included ancestor form is:

1. Open the project
2. Press Ctrl-F12 to bring up the "View Unit" dialog
3. Select IBF_Base from the list (displays the source)
4. Press F11 (displays the form)

You're saying this doesn't work in Builder?
